  • Motion cancellation of optical input signals for physiological pulse measurement
    Patent number: 8858454
    Abstract: A pulse rate sensor that includes an accelerometer for measuring periodic motion and a piezo sensor for detecting erratic motion is capable of more accurately determining pulse rate by accounting for these types of motion. The pulse rate sensor in accordance with the present invention diminishes pulse rate signal degradation due to erratic motion through a combination of algorithms that control signal boosting, waveform refinement and signal noise suppression.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for sensing and evaluating physiological parameters and modeling an adaptable predictive analysis for symptoms management
    Publication number: 20030144829
    Abstract: A system senses various physiological parameters of a patient such as heart rate or temperature to evaluate the patient and predict when an episode of a chronic symptom may occur. The system further includes a modeling component which generates an individualized predictive model for a given patient wherein the patient's previous episodes of the symptom are utilized to shape the model. The system tests the model to assure accuracy and can revise the model as necessary. Once the model is established, the system monitors patient parameters and can alert the patient to the expected onset of the symptom and/or automatically administer an appropriate drug or other therapy to control the expected symptom.
